I tried multiple times with different browsers (30+ years as a computer tech) and Ebay gives this message when trying to make a purchase: "This order was not successful. Order cost has not been included in the total amount." Ebay says it is PayPal causing this error. I've checked my PayPal account details, have checked my bank online and have plenty of money in the account to buy this item which is under $10 and have verified everything is good to go. This problem seems to have started after I got a partial refund on an eBay sale recently. At that time I made another purchase and had the same error come up but eventually the sale went through. Now I can't seem to buy anything and have tried multiple times but nothing goes through successfully.

Oddly just by changing my payment method at checkout the an ATM card on the same banking account the purchase went through (2 of them). It all comes from the same bank, same source.

Perhaps it has something to do with receiving a refund from eBay. Unfortunately, eBay removed the item I had won and already paid for. I went into my PayPal account and saw the payment pending. Because eBay doesn't provide details on why the item was removed nor how to proceed, I simply clicked "cancel" on the charge in my PayPal account.
I don't know any solution to this problem yet as I'm awaiting a response from PayPal.
